Water Pipeline Work To Begin

NEW LENOX — Construction of the pipeline that will carry Lake Michigan water from Tinley Park into New Lenox is slated to begin next week, New Lenox Mayor Mike Smith told the Village Board Tuesday.

Residents near construction areas will be notified that work is starting.

"Construction crews have been instructed to make this process as painless as possible to residents," the mayor said. Those instructions include keeping construction sites clean and covering channels dug for the pipes overnight.
